Who is Zip Cable Tray Systems Inc.?

Zip Cable Tray Systems Inc. was designed in 1994 at the specific request of the telecom industry for a lightweight cable tray system that was strong, yet fast and easy to install.

Recently rebranded as Zip Cable Tray Systems Inc., the new name better reflects our superior product design and service that our company has offered for over 2 decades.

Our mission here at Zip Cable Tray Systems Inc. is to continue providing our clients with the market-leading cable tray products and excellent customer service that our company has become known for.

Zip Cable Tray / Benefits

Fast Installation:

One of the prime features of the Zip cable tray design is that the channel-style siderails accept spring nuts. This eliminates the need for any drilling and makes for an extremely fast and simple installation.

Fast Delivery:

90% of our orders ship in less than a week, a market leader! A large inventory of popular items (ladder-style cable racking) are in stock for immediate delivery.

All-aluminum Construction:

  • Lightweight
    • 1 person can easily install
    • Less weight for the whole site
  • Easy to cut and easy to drill (if necessary)
  • Connections do not require jumper cables across them
  • Non-magnetic properties reduce induction and electrical losses to a minimum
  • Very attractive looking
  • No painting required
  • Never any rust or corrosion problems

Aluminum cable tray systems are clearly superior in construction and appearance to electrical raceway systems made from other metals. Zip has taken that benefit and incorporated the best product design to fully utilize the advantages of aluminium.

Wire Management at its best with Zip

UL Classified / CSA Approved

Zip cable tray is classified by UL and CSA/NEMA tested and approved for use in Canada and USA and complies with the electrical codes of both countries (CEC and NEC).

Powder coating with any colour is available, but note that adding a painted coating to the cable tray negates the UL and CSA/NEMA certification! Jumper cables will need to be installed across cable tray splices to maintain electrical continuity.

Electrical Continuity

Zip's cable tray systems couplings do not require additional equipment grounding conductor's (EGC), also known as 'jumper cables', across splices. This is a significant cost saving. In accordance with the harmonised CSA/NEMA cable tray standard, a strict electrical continuity test was performed on all Zip cable trays. This test measures the electrical resistance across a splice and the result must be less than 0.00033 ohms!

All Zip cable trays easily passed the electrical continuity test.

Some clients create their own, much stricter standards. For example, in order to qualify for the Motorola R56 standard, jumper cable across each splice is a necessity.
